Curves...

More Kedleston Hall, and tody some rather gorgeous curves. The house has crescent shaped wings on it, or at least that's how it seemed.

The floorboards were beautifully cut to echo the curve. It would have been so much easier, I imagine, to simply lay them the other way round and spare the work. But it was worth the effort.

Even the doors in the half-moon alcoves are curved, this must be very difficult to do. Unless you live here and the average softwood front door looks like that after its first winter!

The doors are all beautiful, if you like that sort of thing. Even the back bits that have the hinges on them are curved and not flat. They roll into place. Magnificent.

I am not here today and for a couple more days. I've taken the opportunity to have a break. Somewhere with lots to see. A few days R & R. So if your comments don't appear for a while you'll know why, I may not even take the computer, I haven't decided yet! Meanwhile there will be ghost posts with more KH pictures.
